<<using a burrito>>
 
I've not used the burrito method.  My seed are always  sprouted/germinated 
outside.   My seed were planted in mum pots on Oct  29.  I watered for a couple 
of days and then it started raining.   We've already had a week below 
freezing.  Day time temperatures  didn't get above freezing several of those days.  In 
addition, the pots are  in an area that are in the shade for most of the day.
 
Under similar conditions, I got approximately 70% germination last  year.  If 
freezing hurts the seed in the freezer, why doesn't it hurt them  outdoors?  
What is the difference?
